Question

An artist with this first name painted a possible political allegory in which an approaching dog in the lower-left corner is repelled by a large white swan. This is the first name of an artist whose careers as a brewer and innkeeper influenced paintings like Beware of Luxury and The Dancing Couple. That artist with this first name painted rowdy genre scenes (10[1])like The Feast of Saint Nicholas and inspired two “interiors” (-5[1])in a series by Joan Miró. Many of the 34 paintings attributed to an artist with this first name are set in a room of his home with checkered floors and a shining window on the left. Those paintings include one in which a foot warmer sits on the floor behind a domestic (-5[1])worker as she pours the title liquid. For 10 points, (-5[1])give this (10[1])first name of the Dutch Golden Age painter of The Milkmaid. ■END■ (10[3])
